Meet in Liberty State Park, parking lot 3 near the East Jetty on Morris Pesin Drive. 

This is a joint outing with the Sierra Club. We will meet at 2:00 the south end of Liberty State Park, in parking lot 3, near the East Jetty (C on the map), on Morris Pesin Drive. The best access is from Exit 14B of the NJ Turnpike Extension. See park map here. We will walk the paved Hudson River Walkway past Caven Point, about a mile each way. Expected birds include bufflehead, hooded and red-breasted mergansers, green-winged teal, American black duck, mallard, double-crested and perhaps great cormorants, brant, and early migrants. Scopes will be helpful. Restrooms are available at the park office. 

We will bird for about 2-1/2 hours, after which those who are interested can meet for an early dinner at Zeppelin Hall Beer Garden, featuring a wide selection of European and American beers, German sausages and American barbecue.
